Wind Energy

Dumas is surrounded by six sites for wind energy. You can see wind turbines from; U.S. Highway 152 from Dumas to Borger; U.S. Highway 287 from Dumas; and FM 281 from Etter to Sunray. The sixth site is currently being erected adjacent to the Valero-McKee Refinery. Wind Energy is a big part of the Texas Panhandle, and the Panhandle of Texas is one of the prime spots in Texas for Wind Energy. That is why Dumas is excited to be working with additional developers in the area on several proposed wind farms.

Each of the first five sites has 10 megawatts of power with eight to sixteen turbines at each site. A beautiful sight now being developed for tourists to see as they travel through Moore County. The most recent development is Valero's inaugural wind energy site and will nearly 50 megawatts. Another beautiful picture that you can view only when you travel through Dumas and the Panhandle of Texas.
